Manchester City have agreed a \u00a346.7million ($62.34 million) fee with Barcelona for the sale of Ferran Torres, the PA news agency has reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 21-year-old Spain forward is now set to move to the Nou Camp when the transfer window formally opens in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal, which is subject to the agreement of personal terms, could also be worth a further \u00a38.5million to City in add-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With \u00a35.9million of that contained in clauses likely to be activated, the Premier League champions feel the transfer represents good business for a player they signed for \u00a320.9million last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City were not looking to sell, and nor is Torres thought to be unhappy at the Etihad Stadium, but he became keen on the move after learning of the Catalan giants\u2019 interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Torres has scored 16 goals \u2013 including a hat-trick at Newcastle last season \u2013 in 43 appearances in all competitions for City since joining from Valencia in the summer of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was signed primarily as a winger but has also impressed as a makeshift center-forward in Pep Guardiola\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was part of the side that won the Premier League last season but has played just seven times this season after breaking a metatarsal while on international duty in October. He is expected to be sidelined until the new year.<\/p>\n
